"Exactly what we were looking for. Very clean, exactly as described with everything you need for basic amenities. Washrooms are outside of the cottage, but not what you’d expect. They’re so clean and cute! Amazing host - Communication great and easy of access into property was perfect. We took bikes so we could ride around and found a nice park close by to tour around. Our son LOVED fashioning off the dock! Overall we had the best experience and can’t wait to do it again. Until next time Gooderham cottage 勺Thanks so much for having us."

10/10 Excellent
"Our experience was absolutely perfect. From the moment we walked into the Geodome, it was like stepping into something out of a story. It was clean, fresh and airy. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with everything we needed. The owners have really thought about everything and anything for your peaceful escape to their piece of paradise. We were greeted with a lovely charcuterie board and a bottle of wine. The hot tub was amazing, the layout of the deck, outstanding BBQ, forefoot, even the added touch of the swing...it was such a magical evening. From being able to gaze up all night at the starry sky to the deer stopping in, it was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer! We will absolutely be back."
